If your hair is receding, thinning or you have a really wicked bald spot coming in, there really isn’t much hair style advice out there for you. Instead, you’re forced to watch celebrities like Justin Timberlake rock every conceivable hair style known to man, get all the babes and earn the label “fresh to death.”

The good people at Wahl trimmers know your struggle and have come up with a solution. In fact, 2017 has been hailed as the year of the fade by Dan Michel, noted expert on all things man.

“I think the fade is really cool because it’s not necessarily a haircut by itself – it’s part of a haircut. What you do on the top is totally up to you. That’s what makes it really dynamic.”
